Contact
The Tale of Human Longing for Fulfilling Communication We human beings need contact with others from the moment of our birth onwards—filling our entire life with endless interactions with innumerable people. Our yearning for contact defines us as communicative beings in search of exchanging not only information but also emotions and feelings with our family, community, and the world. This longing for contact, at the heart of fruitful communication, inspires most of our significant communicative activities. This is a focal point of this book. Exploring the nature of communication, Contact defines and discusses the five key levels of communication, refining our abilities to establish fulfilling contact with others and with ourselves.

Death, O Death
Savoring the Human Condition IN PREPARATION This is planned to be a succinct text, to be published as a small, convenient pocketbook (a vademecum) for easy carrying and reading. Death, O Death offers contemplative commentaries on death, the human condition, and our interpersonal relationships, honesty, and integrity. Death may be a realm of wonder; it may be an appreciation of what we know and what we think that we know about this undeniable reality for human life, and for all life. We may have inspiring images of what death amounts to and what might follow after death; we may have great fear about death (which carries the technical name of thanatophobia). We may reflect here on this aspect of our human life and appreciate the variety of attitudes we may have toward what we experience as the loss of others in our lives, never to return. And to contemplate what our own death will mean for us and for those who know and care about us. We all face the twin issues of what death is and what it means to us, and of how we are to live until our inevitable death comes in ways foreseen or unexpected. |

Mudras of the Buddha (His Life and Works) Each Illustrated by its Story and Event that Took Place in the Buddha’s Time In Mudras of the Buddha (His Life and Works), Dhiravamsa introduces some 66 traditional images of the Buddha in various postures (or mudras) and explains the historical contexts that each of these represents. The mudras span the time of the life of Siddhartha from when he went forth from his mundane existence to become a recluse (samana) in search of a solution to the problem of humanity’s suffering, with his earlier experiences in various meditative traditions, to his discovery of a middle path that became the core of his teachings (his dharma). Further mudras illustrate his offering of his teachings presenting his realizations of the nature of the mind and consciousness, covering particular incidents during the 45 years of his teaching, to his final moments at age 80. The many stories of episodes in the life of the Buddha and his teachings are rarely presented in current Western literature. Here we have a treasure-chest of these mudras and their stories collected in an organized way, following the teachings of early Buddhism as passed on in the Thai Buddhist Tradition. This rare work, rich in information and inspiration, will be an important addition to any library interested in Buddhism, in particular, and in spirituality, in general.

Psychotherapy Tales
Psychotherapy: is it science or is it art? This is a vexing question, and I am sure there is no definitive answer. Psychotherapy is not just something that the therapist does. Psychotherapy is a process between therapist and clients. It is something that involves a relationship between them. It requires trust, honesty, hope, resilience, belief, commitment, and preparation to work together. The process often starts with the therapist being seen by the clients to have knowledge and skills, whereas the clients often start from a position of helplessness, impotence, and failure. However, as time passes, the input from the clients becomes more and more important. The clients’ strengths and competence need to be acknowledged, encouraged, and integrated in the process of therapy. |

Teen Voices
Tales from Family Therapy Maurizio Andolfi and Anna Mascellani Teen Voices: Tales from Family Therapy addresses violent behavior, bullying, drug-addiction, reactive depression, eating disorders, and suicide attempts in adolescence, from a systemic developmental perspective. We consider the family as the main resource for resolving children’s problems (or symptoms), the larger goal of therapy being change of inter-generational distortions producing these symptoms. The model of therapy is experiential; the therapist, plays an active role: direct, authentic, emphatic, staying close to the family’s pain and despair, and responding positively to their hope and desire for change. Creating a therapeutic alliance with the adolescent and exploring relevant family events, we employ provocation, support, humor, metaphors, curiosity, playfulness, self-disclosure, and sculpting. Family of origin, siblings, friends, pets, community members, and hospital workers are consultants in the sessions, expanding the social resources of the family searching for emotional support and solidarity.
